    Very Early printing Tube map originally the brainchild of Underground electrical draughtsman, Harry Beck, who produced this imaginative and beautifully simple design in 1933.

    Rather than emphasising distance and geographical accuracy, like other maps, Beck based his on the circuit diagrams he drew for his day job; stripping the sprawling Tube network down to a neat diagram of coloured, criss-crossing lines.
